Production

Espey’s manufacturing experience and capability is industry recognized for its flexibility and “can-do” philosophy. Espey has grown to be vertically integrated for production of its complete product portfolio. Our manufacturing capability exceeds that of a conventional power supply house, transformer plant, or machine shop.

 

Espey continues to invest in technology in-house that will consolidate its production capability, expand into new technologies and techniques, and meet its customer requirements.

 

The Saratoga facility at over 150,000 sq.ft has capacity for one (1) to one thousand (1000) piece production runs. The job shop philosophy backed by lean manufacturing techniques guarantees delivered performance.
